Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 95 - Bai Yan

Bai Rouyun noticed a few faces whom she recognized. She saw the Crown Prince and the one who had gotten the third place in the tournament at the Royal Hunting Feast.

She also noticed multiple sons and daughters of loyal officials and other nobles around them.

While the two who had been given an invitation letter were still immaculately dressed and seemed noble beyond belief, the others were exhausted and sweaty.

Bai Rouyun could not help but look at them with a smile. These people had likely looked down upon Bai Rouyun for so long in the past. She was known as trash and was looked down upon, but now she was the one they could only look up to.

As she was walking down the path, these people also noticed her. However, where they were full of energy before and looked energized and friendly, now that they saw her, mockery and disdain flashed in their eyes, and they looked at her with utter disregard.

They had all expected that Bai Rouyun would walk towards them and grovel at their feet, pretend to know them, or beg to become a part of their group, but contrary to their expectations, she just walked past them with her enigmatic smile ever so present on her lips.

She treated them all as if they were air! She did not even treat them as strangers, as she completely ignored them. With strangers, you might greet each other, but she did not even notice that they were there!

This was an utter humiliation for the ones who looked at her with smug expressions, waiting for her to come begging to be accepted into their group.

Many had been observing Bai Rouyun due to her sheer beauty, so they also noticed the odd expressions on the faces in the Richu Empire group, and then they looked at Bai Rouyun once more. Was she perhaps from the Richu Empire too, but something had happened between them?

Everyone had a bit of a gossipy person within, so they observed the two parties with great interest.

"Bai Rouyun, stop right there!" someone shrieked, and Bai Rouyun, who had been walking casually, turned around, as her smile grew slightly.

"What is it?" She asked, her voice as enchanting, soft and gentle as everyone present had expected. The men who listened had an urge to protect her, to stand in front of her and never let her experience any hardships.

But while Bai Rouyun looked like a fragile beauty at times, she was not that fragile, nor was she in need of anyone's protection.

"You are nothing more than a piece of trash!" the one who had called out happened to be Bai Rouyun's halfsister, Bai Yan.

Many of the people present were in the mood watching a drama play out in front of them, and when they heard Bai Yan yell at Bai Rouyun, calling her trash, they could not help but sneer.

It was true that Bai Rouyun was weaker than Bai Yan, Bai Yan was an Acquired Realm, Heavenly Tiered, Mediate layer while Bai Royun was at the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier, Advanced Layer.

This meant that Bai Yan was two small realms above Bai Rouyun, but when looking at the two, it seemed as if the stronger person was the one at a disadvantage.

"Oh, Miss Bai." Bai Rouyun just greeted Bai Yan casually. She did not seem as if she was the weak one; she appeared as if what Bai Yan had yelled held no influence on her at all.

"What miss Bai?! I am your older sister, how dare you be so rude to me!"

Bai Rouyun glanced at her and said with a mocking voice, "I would not mind calling you older sister if you swear a Heavenly Oath that you had nothing to do with the poison I was fed."

Bai Yan's expression turned pale in an instant. She had never expected that Bai Rouyun would say such a thing. She had never thought that the poison had worked, or that it had influenced Bai Rouyun, so she had not cared about it before, but now she realized that she had been too arrogant.

Although Bai Rouyun used to be a fool, she had been cured. It was clear that Bai Yan had forgotten about this, and she had thought that Bai Rouyun would be cowering in fear when she saw her, but not only was she not afraid, she even managed to turn it all around in such a brilliant way.

Bai Yan's face alternated between white and red. She could not swear a heavenly oath, as she had been part of the poisonous incident. Quite a few of the children and misses of the Bai residence had a part in it.

When they had prepared her for her wedding ceremony, they had sedated her, and alongside the sedation, they had also given her the poison that would end her life.

Seeing that Bai Yan was suddenly unable to say something, many of the people who were observing suddenly had a greater understanding. So this woman was actually so vicious! She had tried to kill her own sister!

"Bai Rouyun, be more magnanimous," the one who spoke was the Crown Prince. "You are now a part of the royal family, so you have to be much more tolerant. Aren't you still alive and kicking, what is the point of harboring on something that happened a long time ago?"

Bai Rouyun was not dumb. She understood that the Crown Prince was speaking for the sake of making everyone know that she was a married woman.

Bai Rouyun could only chuckle. Did this Crown Prince think that she was attempting to hide her relationship with Li Moyun?
